The Bagster

A well made audiobook

Any additional comments?

I'm posting this on behalf of my colleague, S F Hopkins, on whose behalf I bought it because she lives in a country that would not permit such a purchase. This is what she says:

The first thing that needs to be said is that this is not a book for the kind of person who says, “Well, I might go for that or I might not”. If you’re going to enjoy it, you have to be a committed enthusiast for BDSM from the point of view of the dominated male. If that is not for you, I don’t believe this book will be, either. It’s not the easiest thing for me as a woman to get into; we’ve struggled a long time to get men to treat us as equals and I, for one, don’t want to replace female subjection with a male version, in life in general or in bed.

That said, if you do think you’ll find that viewpoint to your taste, you should enjoy the book. It’s an amusing idea and well done and the narrator’s style is well suited to the material. This is a well produced audiobook.

A man who believes that, sexually, he’s just like most other men buys a device that first examines his deepest and most hidden desires (what the author calls his core sexuality) and then allows him to act them out in fantasy. The result is that he discovers that his most deeply held fantasies have nothing in common with the rampant Romeo – in fact, he’s a submissive who wants nothing more than to be mentally and physically dominated by women and to give up his maleness completely. The rest of the book shows the acting out of these desires and, as I said, this will either be to your taste or it will not. If it is, you’re unlikely to find many better books.
